Buildings account for a large share of energy demand and emissions, and owners now face tighter codes, tenant expectations and rising power costs. Cutting consumption across an estate needs strategy, not a string of one-off upgrades. This five-day programme helps senior property, facilities and sustainability professionals set a decarbonisation direction and choose projects that pay back. You establish energy and carbon baselines, benchmark buildings with energy use intensity, and rank retrofit measures on cost, savings and carbon avoided.
Sessions then examine innovation: heat pumps and efficient cooling, rooftop solar and storage, building management systems, smart metering, passive design and low-carbon materials. You will also work through financing routes such as energy performance contracting, green loans and utility partnerships, and learn to plan stakeholder buy-in, measurement and verification, and net zero roadmaps. The course suits estate managers, facilities directors, building services and mechanical engineers, architects, developers, energy managers and policy officers in government and corporate real estate. Delivery is in the classroom, online or in-house, ending with a CPD-accredited certificate. You leave with a draft building energy strategy ready to take to your leadership.
Energy used to heat, cool, light and operate buildings is one of the largest controllable cost lines for any property owner and one of the biggest sources of operational emissions. Governments are tightening building codes, lenders are asking about transition risk, and occupants want comfortable, healthy spaces that are cheap to run. Organisations that respond with isolated gadgets rather than a coherent plan find savings fade and capital is wasted.
The Strategy and Innovation in Building Energy Performance & Decarbonisation Training Course is written for people who must decide what to do across a portfolio and in what order. It covers establishing baselines, setting targets that align with net zero ambitions, assessing retrofit options, and choosing among emerging technologies for heating, cooling, ventilation, renewables and controls. It also deals with the organisational side: building a business case, securing finance, procuring performance-based contracts, engaging tenants and verifying results.
Learning is case-led. Participants analyse sample building data, test retrofit packages in simple models and develop a decarbonisation roadmap for a building or estate of their choice, which they present for peer challenge in the final session.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
